Perhaps this one [quoted from imdb.com]
Quote:
The Outer Limits: Season 1, Episode 1
Sandkings (26 Mar. 1995)
TV Episode - 93 min - Drama | Fantasy | Horror

When his research project is closed down, Simon Kress rescues a few of its living subjects and transplants them to a recreation of their native Martian environment in his barn. They grow and learn, but then Kress makes an error with disastrous implications.

Director:
Stuart Gillard
Writers:
George R.R. Martin (novel), Melinda M. Snodgrass (teleplay)
Stars:
Beau Bridges, Helen Shaver, Dylan Bridges
Sandkings by George R.R. Martin is actually a novelette [and also a graphic novel].

Sorry, I got called away from the computer [for an extended period it appears] then finally came back and finished and saved this post that in the interim became irrelevent!
